Trucks queue is managed by SLV Cement, and every truck is called at the right moment via one or more large size information panels strategically placed to maximize visibility.

Every truck that arrives at the cement plant must wait for its turn in the parking zone. The truck driver identifies himself with a contactless RFID card in the interface kiosk and SLV Cement checks if there is any planned loading/unloading operation associated to him. SLV Cement will manage the trucks queue fairly and will inform the driver to enter, via one or more large size information panels strategically placed in the parking zone to maximize visibility, when the time is right. The call method can be complemented with mobile phone calling, where the system sends an SMS to the driver's mobile phone informing that it is his turn to access the plant and were he needs to go.

The Parking Zone Manager module is optional, but is a useful asset in the cement plant logistics, preventing traffic bottlenecks, increasing the throughput of trucks dispatched and avoiding mistakes and errors calling the trucks to load or to unload inside the cement plant.

Truck drivers are identified via contactless RFID cards or LPR cameras (License Plate Recognition), assuring the access to the cement plant only to authorized drivers. SLV Cement uses traffic lights, control barriers and positioning sensors to control each operation.

When SLV Cement calls the driver to enter the cement plant, he goes to the entry point and must identify himself in the system ensure that the right truck is entering at the right entrance. The system also validates if the truck is well positioned on the weighbridge through positioning sensors and registers the first weight of the loading or unloading operation. The system informs the driver were he must go to unload raw-material or to load cement, automatically opening the control barrier and turning the green traffic light on, informing the driver that he can access the cement plant and that he must proceed to the next point. To increase the security, extra devices can be installed, like License Plate Recognition cameras to detect the truck plate and compare it to the RIFD card information used by the driver.
